I DID WANT TO MENTION SOMETHING

DISTURBING.

JAMES ELLSWORTH WALKED INTO THE

BUILDING AND HE WINKED AT ME.

I WAS DISGUSTED.

HE WALKS AROUND LIKE HE OWNS THE

PLACE.

THE CONSTABLE, BARON CORBIN.

AMERICAN IDOL ANYTIME SOON.

BOOKER T: BARON CORBIN IS

A BIG GUY AND IS ALMOST 100

POUNDS HEAVIER.

FINN: YOU HAVE NO ME A LONG TIME

AND I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH

GUYS LIKE BARON CORBIN MY

WHOLE LIFE.

THIS IS ONE BIG TREE THAT

HAS TO GO DOWN.

>> THE NAME, "CONSTABLE," IS

ASSOCIATED WITH BARON CORBIN

NOW.

DO YOU THINK THIS IS WORTH

HAVING?

IT SEEMS A THIS MIGHT NOT BE THE

SMARTEST THING FOR ANY

SUPERSTAR.

>> I SEE WHERE YOU ARE GOING

WITH THIS, BUT YOU HAVE TO MAKE

ENEMIES TO GET TO WHERE YOU WANT

TO BE.

YOU KNOW, STEPHANIE, HER THE

MIAMI MEANS THAT I G -- B

EING MY ENEMY MEANS I GET BACK

INTO THE TITLE PICTURE.

STEPHANIE IS MY ENEMY.

INSTRUCTION OF THE NEW DAY IN A

TABLES MATCH AND WE HAVE ANDRADE

CIEN ALMAS AGAINST SIN CARA ON

THE KICKOFF SHOW.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WHAT

BETTER PLACE TO BE EMANATING

FROM THAN STEEL CITY?

THE MEMBERS OF THE WWE UNIVERSE

ARE MAKING THEIR WAY IN AND,

SPEAKING OF HOT, THE PRINCESS OF

STATEN ISLAND IS DEFENDING HER

CHAMPIONSHIP AGAINST ASUKA.

ELLSWORTH WILL BE WATCHING FROM

INSIDE THE SHARK CAGE.

THIS COULD TAKE CARE OF THE

ELLSWORTH FACTOR, WHO HAS BEEN

AN ISSUE THROUGHOUT HIS RETURN.

>> I KNOW ABOUT PHYSICS.

>> YOU LOOK LIKE YOU DO.

>> HIS FACE ALLOWS THEM TO SLIDE

BETWEEN THE BARS BECAUSE HE HAS

NO CHIN.

>> YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY

ABOUT ELLSWORTH.

CARMELLA IS RESOURCEFUL AND THAT

IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING.

DAVID: THIS IS HER AND ASUKA.

YOU HAVE TO GO WITH ASUKA.

RENEE: IT IS TIME FOR OUR FIRST

MATCHUP.

WE ARE GOING DOWN TO TOM,

COREY, AND BYRON.

TOM: I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE

ELLSWORTH HANGING ABOVE THE

RING.

COREY: I COULD NOT DISAGREE ANY

MORE!

I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU WOULD SAY

THAT ABOUT AN ATHLETE LIKE JAMES

ELLSWORTH.

TOM: LET'S GO TO THE RING FOR

OUR ACTION.

ANNOUNCER: AT 198 POUNDS, SIN

CARA.

COREY: QUITE THE WAY TO KICK OFF

THE ACTION HERE ON THE KICKOFF

SHOW WITH SOME HIGHFLYING LUCHA

LIBRE AS THE UNIVERSE CONTINUES

TO FILE IN.

BYRON: THIS COULD BE A MEASURE

OF RETRIBUTION FOR SIN CARA.

TOM WE HAVE EXTREME RULES

PRESENTED BY TAP OUT.

PRESENTED BY AEROPOSTALE AND --

ANNOUNCER: HIS OPPONENT,

ACCOMPANIED BY ZELENA VEGA,

ANDRADE CIEN ALMAS.

COREY: THIS IS A TEAM THAT HAS

TAKEN THE ROSTER BY STORM AND

THEY ARE AS LEGIT AS THEY COME

.

TOM: THEY HAD A LONG-STANDING

FRIENDSHIP, BUT WHEN ANDRADE

CAME TO SMACKDOWN LIVE, THAT

ENDED.

BYRON: VEGA CAME INTO THE SCENE

AND TOOK OVER THE COURSE OF HIS

CAREER AND HAS AFFECTED THINGS

IN THE PROCESS.

COREY: HE BELIEVES HE IS THE

FUTURE OF WWE AND HE IS A

GENUINE ATHLETE WITH A BRIGHT

FUTURE.

TOM: VEGA INTERRUPTED AND ALMAS

MISSED ABOUT A MONTH OF ACTION

WITH THE ELBOW INJURY.

SO, IT IS EVERY MATCH HERE.

-- IT IS A REMATCH HER.

SO, LET'S SEE HOW SIN CARA AND

ALMAS SET THE PACE HER.

-- HERE.

SIN CARA GETS TOSSED INTO THE

BARRICADE AND THAT INJURED ELBOW

OF SIN CARA GOT RE-AGGRAVATED.

COREY: IT TOTALLY CHANGED THE

COMPLEXION OF THIS MATCH HERE IN

THE EARLY GOING.

TOM: VEGA WAS LOVING IT AND

ALMAS GOT A BULLSEYE ON SIN

CARA.

COREY: YOU KNOW HOW MUCH THIS

MATCHUP IN THIS RIVALRY WILL

MEAN FOR SIN CARA.

HE IS CONCERNED WITH BEING THE

BEST.

TOM: WHAT ABOUT THOSE WHO HAVE

HELPED YOU FROM DAY ONE?

COREY: SIN CARA HAS NEVER TAKEN

OFF THAT MASK.

FOR ALL WE KNOW, THIS COULD BE A

DIFFERENT GUY!

BYRON: WILL YOU STOP?

COREY: JUST BECAUSE SOMEBODY WAS

AROUND BEFORE DOESN'T MEAN YOU

CAN'T DO IT BETTER.

TOM: HE BELIEVE SHE IS THE

FUTURE OF SMACKDOWN LIVE.

NOW, ALMAS --

COREY: TRANQUILO, PHILLIPS.

TOM: THE KICKOFF SHOW CONTINUES

HERE ON THE WWE NETWORK.

YOU BELIEVE YOU ARE THE GUY, BUT

YOU WORE TO THE GUY BECAUSE YOU

COULD NOT HANDLE THE ROLE.

>> ROMAN NEVER WOULD HAVE BEEN

THE GUY.

>> I AM THE BIG GUY.

>> BOBBY LASHLEY HAS HAD ENOUGH!

>> IT WILL FINALLY HAPPEN WITH

LASHLEY AND REIGNS.

TOM: THE HEAVYWEIGHT BOUT IN

THIS STEEL CITY HERE TONIGHT.

BYRON: YOU CAN SEE THE
